Kikoriki (2004)

2004 · 3 seasons · Kids, Animation, Family

The Smeshariki are stylized rounded animals. Each of the nine characters has a unique personality and a range of interests with no negative characters among them. Plots are built not on the battle of opposing forces but on the unexpected situations the animated characters stumble upon in their interactions deemed similar to the ones that children may encounter in their everyday lives. Many of the topics foreground the guidance that friendship and community provide to the individual making his or her way in the world. Complex themes and specific cultural references place this cartoon firmly within the Russian tradition of animation. Much attention was devoted to the humor in the series, some of which has attracted adults as well.

Created by Salavat Shaykhinurov, Ilya Popov and Anatoly Prokhorov. Starring Svetlana Pismichenko, Sergey Mardar, Mikhail Chernyak, Anton Vinogradov and Vadim Bochanov.
